Parents or care givers are the heart of family which also has to manage these children with their routine work. Caregivers many times develop mental & physical problems because of too much burden. Many times parents try various treatments but the results are poor. Also if with mental retardation, there are behavioral problems then there are lots of issues in the family. Many times doctors prescribe antipsychotics to reduce the behavior, which causes lots of side effects like weight gain, salivation, slowness, reduction in cognition in already intellectually disabled person.
